For about six years, collaborative co-working spaces have been gaining traction in
the business world. As more and more individuals decide to opt out of the traditional
9 to 5 job and work from home (and of course the occasional local wifi hotspot),
they soon realize what they are missing out on. Co-working has evolved as
alternative to working in coffee shops and cafes, or the isolation from working independently in home offices.
As collaborative co-working spaces have become more attractive to independent
business professionals as a way to cut back on high rent costs, the demand
for high end and luxurious work space design has been rising. Pay as you go
co-working spaces provide individuals with the luxury of a high end office
space for a reasonable price and the benefits working around others.
Designers should take note of the growing market for high end collaborative
workspaces as there may be a benefit in both designing them
and working in them!
